I neither deny nor endorse the idea that Nero would be proud of today's spectacles. The whole argument is silly to begin with, since Nero is dead and cannot speak for himself. Your claim is purely speculative and entirely unfalsifiable, thus rendering it a personal opinion, which last time I checked does NOT belong in an encyclopedia.
I apologize if my edit offended. I thought conservapedia would embrace writing with a more scholarly and objective tone. Was I wrong? In any case, I should have time this week to add the edits regarding important playwrights I promised, and I won't interfere with your criticisms again.
Still, I beg you to reconsider 2 things:
1. Your assertion that theater is theater no matter the medium, is a view not commonly shared by people in the industry, nor the general public. I would very much like it if the article entitled "theater" would emcompass live theater only, as that is the modern understanding of the word. Television and film require completely different styles of acting, scriptwriting, directing, etc.
2. The attention given to Hays over people who actually contributed to the medium.
I understand that I have no power here, and I will not do any drastic edits without your blessings. As an amateur actor and a lover of the theater, I just want to make sure that people coming here can understand what a wonderful and powerful medium it can be when done correctly.
